[quote=Anonymous]A kid who will potentially end up double-majoring in, per your example, biology and Asian studies is still taking up lots of resources in an oversubscribed major. The difference from someone who is a straight bio major is a couple more filled seats in an Asian history class. The situation for a computer science and humanities double major is even worse. A cursory examination of most kids’ applications will make clear if this undersubscribed major kid (sincere interest or not) will easily switch to or double major in an oversubscribed field. The issue then is — or should be — not so much showing a real interest in an unpopular major, but in likewise demonstrating a complete lack of interest in an oversubscribed major(s). College admissions can be a slow turning boat, but admissions officers will catch onto this nuance pretty soon, if they haven’t already.[/quote]
